It's o.k. to be scared. Many of us are when we take that step to get help. And getting help is a courageous step -- well done! And you will heal as long as you continue to find the faith in yourself and in people you can trust to help you heal (like that friend who is encouraging you, and making the appointment for you, and going with you if, for no other reason, so you don't feel alone -- that is so wonderful a gift!) Please remember, always, that you deserve to heal, deserve to regain your life, deserve friendship and love!

I wish you well.
